India is all set to begin its mass inoculation drive against coronavirus on January 16. With just two days left for Phase 1 to begin, health authorities across the country have already practised dry runs and set up vaccination centres. Amidst all this, netizens have come up with their unique suggestions to vaccine the maximum number of people in the shortest possible time.

While the government aims to safeguard at least 30 crore residents against coronavirus with injection shots, netizens have now devised a way to inoculate cities at once. The whole Twitter conversation started after a user touted that put the vaccine in a staple food item and everyone would get it super fast. Soon #PutTheVaccineIn started trending prompting netizens to dish out hilarious suggestions.

One user wrote that put the vaccine in Rajma Chawal and whole north India would be vaccinated, highlighting the region’s love for one of the most popular the dishes. Meanwhile, another joked, “Put the vaccine in Paan and whole Kanpur would be vaccinated and streets would be disinfected too". Yet another took a jibe and wrote put the vaccine on relatives and everybody would get the vaccine.
